Story
My name is Gerald Kemp and one of my jobs is a Fitness Instructor at Ystradgynlais Sports Centre, where a group of people i train have bonded into a tight knit group which has led us to entering numerous running events away from the gym.
We have recently entered into a relay race that takes place on 9th-10th June 2017 and involves running 160 miles from Twickenham, London to the Millennium Centre in Cardiff with the aim to complete within 24hrs. When we met to plan for it, it was suggested to add extra incentive that we try to raise as much money as possible for a worthy cause.
In our local community of Ystradgynlais, we have 7 Schools Specialist Support Centres located in 3 primary schools and our local secondary school. The centres provide a very important and much needed service to children with specialist needs and their families, but unfortunately, due to broken promises made by local politicians and fund cutting by the local authority, these centres are being put in a position where the likelihood is they will have to cut/reduce the services they provide.
We don't think this is right or fair, so we've decided to help out as much as we can...The money we raise will be shared out equally amongst the centres and we have been promised it will be spent on things that directly benefit the children.
The team taking on this challenge is made up of 12 runners, Julie Kemp, Leah Treharne, Angelique Owen, Llewyla Nickels, Lauren Harris, Jessica Harris, Grant Thomas, Darren Evans, Huw Thomas, John Fraser, Nick Spedding and Jamie Davies and 3 support team of Cen Nickels, Craig Jones & Myself
We as a group have entered the race as Ystradgynlais WOD, please support this great cause...Any amount will be gratefully accepted, your local councillors may not care but please show as a community that we do..Thank you for your support...
